2: Heat Equation - Fixed-End Temperature Example: 80 cm

copper rod, with insulated lateral surface, left end fixed at 0 C,
right end fixed at 100 C.
Find Solution (a is length of rod; k is thermal diffusivity of copper; T0 and T1 are left and
right end temperatures, respectively; m is the maximum number of terms in the series
solution)
